Alhaji Kamsalem Bulama the Executive Secretary Area Integrity Association AIA) has accused the Acting Chairman of Economic Crimes Commission, EFCC Mr Ibrahim Magu of purchasing properties abroad using his brother Mr B. Mustapha through a London based businessman, Arthur Francis whose brother is facing corruption charges in Nigeria.
In another swift, Kamsaleem described as a compendium of lies, the allegation that Maina's son has an account with a balance of N1.7bn. He described it as a cheap blackmail which is clearly intended to divert the attention of the public from the fundamental issue of the challenge by Maina that EFCC should account for the N1.63ttr worth of properties and cash recovered as a result of the work of the Maina led PRTT. He described the N1.7bn allegation as a perpetual lie which has no substance. He added that why would a person who has N1.7bn be scampering to be reinstated back to work of civil service ?
Mr Bulama said "I happen to come from the same State and Local Government Area as Mr Magu. I know his extended family but that not withstanding, my candid advice will be for him to stop the lies and face the corruption allegations against him, especially the N1.63tr, 222 houses, investments, money and the issue relating to the purchase of the 3 houses abroad by his younger brother.
You may recall that Magu was earlier accused of purchasing some houses in two countries but in his reaction after the deal was exposed , Magu said "people have been buying properties using his name"
According to Bulama, which mad man will purchase property in someone else's name. Let's call a spade a spade.
Kamsalem Bulama, Executive Secretary Arewa integrity Association went further to say that Magu's younger Brother B. Mustapha M and Arthur Francis, a London based businessman whose brother is involved in multimillion Naira pension fraud in Nigeria are the conduit pipes where Magu channels his dubiously acquired resources.
While it is on record that the Maina led PRTT had EFCC personnels embedded. This is the committee that was responsible for fishing out the 43 pension suspects while EFCC effected the recoveries of the funds, and properties.
He further maintained that, Magu received N19.8 bn and $5m from some pension suspects with the promise never to convict them. It is clear that after 6years, there is no hope of conviction of the 43 pension thieves, some EFCC staff had written a petition against Magu of stealing their N750m allowances. This is corruption of the highest order.
In another development, he charged Mr Magu to make public the said balance in that account which he alledged is owned by Maina's son where N1.7bn is said to have being lodged.
